We six Weaselmaster, Sick Kid, Jelena, Fife Flyer, PeteR and myself had targeted the three Corbett Complex of Quinag.

Aye it was, I see that you had a wee tumble on the second Corbett as well, how's the knee? I had my hand checked out, but nothing broken, just badly bruised and swollen, these were some gusts of wind though!

Aaah.. I've been waiting for this, to see how you managed the "triplets of Assynt". They are great fun, aren't they? I had one of the best days on the hills on Quinag. Hard work climbing over all these lumps, bumps and minor tops, but sooo rewarding
I'm glad you enjoyed it, folks.

I agree, one of my best days on a remarkable hill, with great company and weather to boot, apart from the strong cross wind on the second Corbett, FANTASTIC!

Great stuff Rod, a superb walk which even the strong winds couldn't spoil although they tried hard to.

Good report there Rod,
A great day out even with that fierce cross wind.
We caught up with the second group but you were just a bit to quick. Obviously the earlier start helps.
Nice meeting up with you again.

Thanks for that Charlie, three brilliant days, it was just great not to get waterlogged hills for a change
